I don't know why people obsess about 32 bit "support" when their device manufacturer clearly states that that format is not supported. The DAC chips included on Xonar soundcards are regular 24 bit chips...IMO, 32 bit is a worthless waste of space, all the '32 bit capable' DAC chips existent today have actual resolution less than 24 bit. Their catalog data is equal or even less than the top-of-the-line 24 bit DAC.It's just shamless marketing and amazingly, enough people bite the bait.The new beta plug-in (ver 2) works fine on E-MU 1820 w/ Win7 x64 and foobar ver 1.1.12 beta 6.

But there is no ADC with such low noise -130 dBm (-160dB). -130 dB maybe. -130 dBm - science fiction.

Yes, there is no ADC with this low noise level and the consequence is there is no point designing or producing ADC oder DAC that uses more than 24 Bit of (integer) sample depth.Are there ADC or DAC using 32 bit floating-point for conversation or internal format?

Anyway I am saying that the physically limit of the human hearing is around 21-22 dB. Even the thermal noise of the air molecules in a 25C room is at that level. There is absolutelly no point for more than 24 bit (at 96kHz) reproduction of audio signals destined to be heard by humans.
